excerpt_lenght doesn't seem to work

[patrick6000 0]

I've tried to change the lenght of the excerpt with this filter

add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
		function my_excerpt_length($length) {
		return 20;
		}	

It doesn't seem to work. Does somebody know how to fix this ? Thanks

Are you adding this to your functions file?

[patrick6000 0]

yes

[catrina 103]

function new_excerpt_length($length) {
		return 20;
	}
	add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

The code above is the updated excerpt length code. Try adding that one instead.

Did you set the priority correctly? It states below that you may run into problems if the priority is not set. http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/excerpt_length#Examples

Hi, my apologies to all of you, i didn't read carefully the wordpress doc. I didn't know about the difference between "Excerpt" and "automatic excerpt" Eric
